Summary

An ESPN story came out yesterday about Caleb Williams and the Bears and how he and his dad tried to do anything they could to not get drafted by him.

Boomer said he would have loved to have been drafted by the Bears because they are a legacy NFL franchise. Boomer thinks this is a bad look for Caleb and his dad.
